It has been said that if you know Silverlight then you are already a Windows Phone 7 developer. Jesse Liberty joins John Papa this week to explore that statement and demonstrate the side-by-side creation of both a Silverlight application and a Windows Phone
application.

Watch as Jesse cracks open Visual Studio 2010 and creates two similar applications: one for Silverlight and one for Windows Phone 7. He does this all from scratch so you get to see every step along the way.

I would like to see the Panaroma and Pivot controls made available for regular Silverlight apps, as well. Anyone know if these controls will be added to SL SDK or Toolkit? These would go great as tables/slates become more popular.

Thanks for reply. I read this the other day. Good post for these controls. I was talking about that it would be nice to see the Panorama and Pivot controls to be added to the regular SDK or Toolkit ( not just the Phone ).

Actually my intent was not to suggest that writing for the phone is the same as writing for the PC; they are very different platforms (see, for example, my discussion of
TransMedia). I was only demonstrating that many of the coding skills you have as a Silverlight programmer will carry over, making the learning curve a good bit flatter. Some programs will no doubt work well virtually as is on both platforms, but as more
than one person has noted, size matters, and a phone ain't a computer

At this point, there are tons of "getting started" videos, but none, that guides to complete app or anything remotely as advanced. Would really be interested if you guys publish bit more "advanced" videos, atleast intermediate level videos.
